Frida Mezkahlo Margarita + Video

Happy Labor Day weekend amigos. We all work very hard and deserve to celebrate this Labor Day weekend.

I’m so excited…my mom is visiting and we will be hosting a cookout with family and friends. It’s our last hurrah to celebrate summer.

This three-day holiday weekend is the perfect time to make some cocktails and you will want to add this margarita to your menu. They are very simple to make — blend some watermelon in the blender, squeeze a lime, add some mezcal, and shake, shake, shake.

Sure, I could have called this drink a watermelon mezcal margarita on the rocks, but that’s boring. I’m calling this a Frida Mezkahlo! Get it? It’s a pretty pink margarita inspired by Frida Kahlo, but made with mezcal. I’m so punny, I can’t even stand it.

This Frida Mezkahlo Margarita is a little smoky and a little sweet and served in a Tajin rimmed glass, garnished with jalapeño slices makes it a little spicy just like my girl Frida.
